An Appraisal of the Characteristics of Road Crashes Involving Vulnerable Road Users
Road users that are vulnerable to road crashes are primarily those who are unprotected by a protective outer shield, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists of all ages and abilities, such as children, the elderly, and people who have disabilities (physically or mentally). The present paper aims at a review to provide an investigation of the crashes involving vulnerable road users reported in the state of Kerala from the year 2018 to 2020. It consists of crash data analysis concerning age group and collision type and vehicle type. It was found that the highest percentage of vulnerable road users involved in the crashes are from the two-wheeler category (59.11%), followed by pedestrians (20.35%). The highest percentage of crashes for pedestrians and cyclists are due to collisions with two-wheelers. The most susceptible groups for pedestrians and cyclists are those aged 41–60 years, while those aged 26–40 years are more vulnerable to two-wheeler crashes.
